A bunch of new people followed me recently so I must remind you that I wrote a biography of Henri Bergson called Herald of a Restless World. I wrote it with my HANDS and BRAIN and I'm very proud of it. John Banville called it “The most intellectually stimulating book I read this year” (last year).

re the discourse on this I've decided that "middle age" should be your life expectancy plus or minus five years and divided by two, meaning that I will be entering mine at 41 years old and not a MOMENT earlier, thank you

This is a great episode about one of my all time favourite bands. I 100% agree with what Yasi says at the top of the episode: YYYs are the best band to come out of this scene and Karen O does not get enough credit given how iconic she is. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW8y...

I missed this lovely review of my book when it came out "Herring has a gift for description that makes her writing deeply engaging. The book is well plotted and draws the reader back to scenes as the narrative of a novel might do" spectrumculture.com/2025/02/18/h...

FYI, I wrote a biography of the French philosopher Henri Bergson which the NYT described as “lively and deft”, and which John Banville called “the most intellectually stimulating book I read this year” (in 2024). I am biased, but I think you should read it.

One of the coolest things about people who don't have a lot of power taking a principled stand is it lays bare the complete cowardice of the ones who actually *do* have power when they fail to do even a fraction as much.

Read it to find out about Bergson’s famous philosophy of durée, his secret meeting with President Wilson during WWI, his friendships with Marcel Proust and William James, the experiments he and Pierre Curie conducted on an Italian medium, and how he caused the first traffic jam on Broadway!

Microsoft wants to build three massive AI data centres in Leeds. It’ll drain thousands of litres of water from the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter. We can still stop the council's final sign-off, but we need more voices. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

It's more of a generalised state that can then attach to anything real or imagined. I have spent quite a few years in therapy by now so I have a pretty good idea of where it comes from, I just haven't been able to tell my body that
